Product Description
The Precision Colorimeter models YR05506, YR05507, and YR05508 are engineered to provide accurate color measurements necessary for quality control in various industries. These devices use an illuminating/viewing geometry of 8/d, which ensures precise color detection irrespective of the object’s surface. The measuring apertures vary from Φ4mm to Φ8mm across these models, allowing for flexibility in measurement applications. Furthermore, they incorporate a silicon photoelectric diode detector that enhances their capability to provide consistent and reliable results.
Each model supports a range of color spaces, including CIEL*a*b*C*h* and CIEXYZ, thus offering comprehensive color analysis options. The color difference formulas such as △E*ab and △ECIE94 are integrated into each model, ensuring accurate assessment of color discrepancies. The colorimeters use a D65 light source, ensuring measurements are taken under standard daylight conditions, complemented by LED blue light excitation.
